Wireless Configuration

I finally got fed-up with w$ on my laptop, and installed suse 10.3 wiping out everything windows.

I expected problems getting the wireless to work, and was not disappointed.

(using ndiswrapper)
I tried to follow the howto on Deltaflyer's website; the first stumbling block I ran into was identifying the proper drivers on the driver cd. The driver cd - from Dell - has two folders containing drivers. Each folder has two .inf files. :unsure: which to use :unsure:

Would it work ( read as: "make sense") to use all 4 of the .inf to build the ndiswrapper file that is used for a modprobe?

Thanks anyway, gentleman, but I got it working.

Glad to read you got it working. As you consulted my how-to, would you like to comment on it ? was it helpful ? does it need to be clearer anywhere ? don't forget, these are generic instructions as i don't have all makes of p.c.'s & laptops & wireless devices

Hi, Andy
Your how-to is what got me going. The commands that needed to be run,were all there;
Along with the man pages/--help I got the "little led" on the pcmcia card to turn on.

Had a little trouble with the configration of the wifi card --- not everything was in the how-to, but then it is 'generic'.

Even though I did a little stumbling around, I would not have gotten it working without the aid of your how-to

Sorry I can't give any detail, but my memory is not what it used to be, and I just don't remember the specifics of the problems I had with the how-to

cool, glad it helped. any problems,let me know
